Bebe?

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been linked with a remarkable move for former Manchester United man Bebe this summer.

Reports in Spain suggest that the Portuguese forward is set to head to Molineux for a fee in the region of €1.5m and would become Nuno Espirito Santo’s second signing after the free capture of Ryan Bennett from Norwich City.

Bebe, whose agent is Jorge Mendes, has spent only one season with current club Eibar and scored five goals in 21 games for the Spanish side.

He was signed for a reported £7.4m by Sir Alex Ferguson for the Red Devils back in 2010, but spectacularly flopped and was sold to Benfica for around a third of the price four years later - he made seven appearances in that time.

Former manager and player to be reunited this summer

Kenny Jackett is looking to be reunited with James Henry at Portsmouth this summer.

Former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Jackett was named manager at Pompey last week, replacing the departed Paul Cook who headed for Wigan.

And as he prepares to embark on a League One campaign at Fratton Park, after the club secured promotion at the end of last season, Jackett is reportedly looking into bringing Henry to the club - on a free, after his Wolves release.

Weimann

Andreas Weimann won’t be returning to Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer, according to reports circulating this morning.

The striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Molineux, signing a loan deal to be reunited with his former Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert.

After the departure of Lambert, though, and the installation of Nuno Espirito Santo, the club have decided against pursuing a permanent deal that was discussed with Weimann’s parent club Derby County in the winter window.

The Austrian scored three times in old gold, most notably in the famous win over Liverpool in the FA Cup tie at Anfield.

The club, too, have decided against bringing back Richard Stearman from Fulham and have already released Mike Williamson and James Henry.

Ryan Bennett, the former Norwich centre-back who was released by the Canaries this summer, remains the sole new arrival at the present time.

Nuno

Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo says he will take on board the opinions from everybody that can help him as he prepares for the transfer window.

The 43-year-old was appointed as Wolves’ fourth head coach in 10 months, replacing Paul Lambert .

He will work with agent Jorge Mendes over the summer to attempt to build a side that can challenge for promotion to the Premier League next season.

Nuno will seek advice regarding transfer decisions, but said Wolves aren’t intent on bringing in a specific number of players.

Look away now!

For an Albion fan who is required to head to the other side of the Black Country, it can be a traumatic experience.

Yet, as the above video would suggest, Ian took great pleasure in visiting WV1!

For today was the day that Wolverhampton Wanderers took up the pitch following the end of their Championship campaign, and Ian was on hand with his digger to do just that - donning a replica jersey of Albion’s promotion-winning 2003-04 campaign throughout the process.
